Microsoft announces new entry-level Surface Laptop and Surface Book 2

Today, Microsoft has added new versions of the Surface Laptop and Surface Book 2 to their line-up. Both the new variant of the Surface Laptop and the new variant of the Book 2 are lowering the entry-level price of the Surface devices.

The new variant of the Surface Book 2 lowers the price of the entry-level model from $1499 to $1199. It comes with an Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB RAM and 128GB SSD. The only difference to the previous entry-level Surface Book 2 is that is only has half of the onboard storage.

These changes are only affecting the 13-inch version of the device. The 15-inch Surface Book still starts at $2499. I had the chance to take a look at the Surface Book 2. You can find my impressions here.

In addition to the cheaper Surface Book Microsoft also announced the Surface Laptop with an Intel Core m3 processor. This device costs $799 and is $200 cheaper than the previous entry-level Surface Laptop which comes with an Intel Core i5 processor.

Everyone who just needs a laptop for basic tasks like web surfing, Office, and notetaking should have a good time with the Intel Core m3. The Surface Laptop is definitely a great piece of hardware and especially its design is just beautiful. You can find my first impressions on the Surface Laptop here.

The cheaper Surface Laptop is available from the Microsoft Store here.
